This 50 W infrared bulb is intended for keepers who need a concentrated heat source for a basking area in a terrarium. It emits heat through a red glass envelope, so it can be left on day and night without the light cycle being disturbed.
Why it matters
- The red glass passes infrared radiation generated by the filament while filtering out visible light, which the manufacturer states is not visible to animals.
- The bulb is rated for continuous, 24-hour operation, so it can maintain heat during the night as well as during the day.
- A reflective coating inside the bulb directs the radiated heat in one direction, which supports building a defined heat island in the enclosure.
- The rated life is 2000 to 3000 hours, which is stated by the manufacturer and gives a long service interval.

What it works with
The bulb is categorised as a heating element for terrariums and suits a basking spot placed above a reptile or amphibian enclosure. The published heat readings make it possible to plan the distance from the bulb to the basking surface, with the highest temperature at 10 cm. It requires an E27 fitting and a thermostat or dimmer-compatible setup should be considered to keep the surface temperature within the range required by the species kept.

The manufacturer gives a service life of 2000 to 3000 hours. Its colour temperature is 1500K.
The inside of the bulb has a reflective coating that concentrates the heat radiation in one direction. This makes it suitable for creating a localised heat island, such as a basking spot.
